A powerful tool offered through Encompass's collaboration with Wise Systems.
Designed for today’s fast-paced and complex distribution environment, Strategic Planner enhances route optimization and resource allocation, improving customer service, and enabling rapid adaptation and efficient growth. Perfect for seasonal re-routes, territory expansions, and more.
Factor variables such as customer delivery windows and conditions, and enable teams to share updated plans with stakeholders like merchandisers and sales reps to service accounts efficiently. As routes become more balanced, customers will benefit from on-time deliveries.
Determine how many delivery vehicles and drivers are needed to service accounts, play out ‘what if’ scenarios around adding a new vehicle/vehicle type or territory, and calculate your sales volume in those scenarios.
Whether you’re currently using spreadsheets, a bolt-on solution, or simply not strategically routing because it’s too time-consuming, integrating your data into Wise System’s Strategic Planner allows you to focus on your plans while routes are automatically transferred back into Encompass. Optimize routes by clustering stops based on geographic efficiency and priority, while flexible editing capabilities allow you to adapt to changes dynamically with versatile, user-friendly tools.
Ensure equitable workload distribution across all routes with balanced stop distribution. Allow your team to start and end work on time.
Utilize automated processes to drastically cut planning time, enhance accuracy and consistency, and reduce edits to daily route plans. Eliminate the need to import data from various systems—tasks that once took days now take seconds.
Strategic Planner can help you and your team optimize routes and gain efficiencies.
